## Summary

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority procured water carrier fire engines for its emergency response fleet. This is a supply contract for specialist fire appliances, rather than general vehicle hire or routine vehicle servicing. The authority is based in Carmarthen, and the contract concerns vehicles for its fire and rescue service in Mid and West Wales. The procurement was run as a further competition under the National Fire Chiefs Council emergency response vehicle framework, with one lot covering the water carriers. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers able to provide purpose-built water carrier fire engines for operational fire and rescue use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Emergency One UK Limited on 8 October 2026. The award value is £1.8 million excluding VAT (£2.16 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2028, with options to extend by up to two years to October 2030 and then by up to a further two years, in periods of at least 12 months, ending no later than 25 October 2032. The authority used a competitive further competition under the DS478-24 NFCC Emergency Response Vehicle Framework Agreement. The process covered one lot. The available procurement details do not set out the evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority for specialist water carrier fire engines through a framework-based competition. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need the capability to design, manufacture and supply operational fire appliances suited to water-carrier duties, and to meet the authority’s fleet requirements. Credible competitors are likely to need established fire-engine production capability, relevant experience supplying emergency response vehicles, and the capacity to deliver a sizeable fleet order under a call-off contract. The successful supplier was Emergency One UK Limited, a large company. The contract’s potential multi-year duration points to a sustained supply relationship, so suppliers should be able to support delivery and the ongoing requirements associated with the vehicles throughout the contract term.
